I’m with a group who for the past week has been able to spend some time even before IDEC, going really deeply into working in gynecology, gynecology and thinking very deeply about our own personal connections to that work and trying to be reflective. One of the things we talked about was the different ways that we work for a better world and there’s one conception that says; there are those ones who resist the treatments, those that are involved in reform, those that recreate and build alternatives and those that re-imagine; that do the vision and the thinking.

In just a few moments it’s to break into triads but we’d like to model that. We’re going to invite German, Heather and Daroun to come and model for us. If you all are here and you’d like to join us up in the circle, I think we had a switch. We had some last minute switches so we’re going to pose the question. Jonathan did you already pose this question? Continue reading “The Idea of Democratic Education”

I was prediabetic, with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and Hypothyroidism. I needed to make drastic changes.

Knowledge did not give him joy, it only increase his sorrow. In Ecclesiastes two he continued to show the sorrows and vanity of this world. Continue reading “Lucky Says No”

In these days of reluctance to accept personal responsibility for anything, it is especially appropriate to examine one’s accountability to God, including when that accountability begins.
